Yates allowed a run on one hit and struck out two over one inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Twins.
The Rangers had a five-run rally in the seventh inning to sneak ahead, but Yates couldn't protect the one-run lead in the ninth. He allowed a solo home run to Carlos Santana, which gave Yates his first blown save in 22 opportunities this year. The closer has still pitched incredibly well with a 1.36 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 66:22 K:BB over 46.1 innings this year, but he's allowed three runs (two earned) over eight innings in August.
